I'm kinda disappointed that the last Halloween arc is left with no conclusion.

It bummed me, but the guest comics were delightful. I'm not sure what the arc was going to end like, but the way it's setup at the moment is actually a conclusive ending (Since it was more of a triage of what everyone was doing on Halloween anyway, or at least that's how it looked).

Re: Arc #65 The Unbearable Lightness Of Being A Dog

Yayyyyyyyyy King.

On the whole, I'm really liking the design change. For everything. The panel layout is really neat, the backgrounds look more like a graphic novel than your run-of-the-mill webcomic, and the characters are implemented well. Very glad to hear you're starting to feel better Rick!

One thing that seems a little off to me, though, is the eyebrows. Is everyone gonna have bushy, white eyebrows now? I know that King and Bailey have always had them, but Fox didn't used to. Either way it's not a big deal; just curious.

.

if you would recall, it actually had a very traumatizing, drawn out end that was just concluded recently...

I have no idea if you're talking about Rick's recovery but yea, that is a good way of looking at it. Rick going into surgery on the day of Halloween was as frightening as The Shining. I'm sure he's already thought of ways to connect his previous ideas into the current story.

Must say King does look more chibi than usual but I think it also makes him cuter. I'm still not used to the thick blackness surrounding the background but i really like the rest of it. Pete's design will be interesting.

...and then we discover that the whole redesign was made to retitle the comic PETE! (featuring some Housepets)

Very much so. It looks as though much of the new stories are going to be more story driven than ever before.

I must say, the new style has also begun to grow on me already, It looks absolutely amazing in the current format of the comic! Keep up the great work Rick!

Re: Arc #65 The Unbearable Lightness Of Being A Dog

While the story is becoming mroe interesting, I have to say I liked Bailey and King's older designs. They seem MUCH less cuter in comparison, while the other character's new design haven't had any bad change.

Let me first say that I am loving the new background style. If this is the result of practicing with the heavy brush, I thoroughly approve But King is still not striking the right chord with me. He dips too far over the line of cartoony, while everyone else keeps a good balance of cartoon and reality. I feel like most of it comes from the line separating the white and brown on his muzzle and neck. I played with getting rid of the line in MS paint, and it really makes a difference for me.

As for the story, there are zero complaints and many D'AWWWWWWW!

Agreed. I figure it's there to make the linework more consistent throughout character models, but it just makes it look sloppy, to be honest.

I also much preferred the lack of lines around King and Bailey's eyebrows, but that's not so bad as long as the linework is kept to a much more minimal level like in this last comic.

But yeah, I'd definitely recommend either minimizing or doing away with the line around King's muzzle.
